Impeaching Bush?

It's one thing when a Democratic die hard like John Conyers says that impeachment might be a possibility, it's another when a member of your own party like Chuck Hagel broaches the subject. That Hagel, who is in his own right something of a maverick is upset enough about President Bush's disregard for the voice of the people and of the opposition party that he broaches the impeachment question.

“Any president who says, I don’t care, or I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else, or I don’t care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed — if a president really believes that, then there are — what I was pointing out, there are ways to deal with that,” said Hagel, who is considering a 2008 presidential run.

I'm not sure impeachment would be good for the country, at least at this point, in part because Cheney is next in line, which would likely lead to another impeachment trial. Yet, it's getting a bit scary here as the President is acting more dictatorial every day -- not just on Iraq, but also on the US Attorney's issue. Power has definitely gone to his head!
